but if you leave the reverse clear and don't go too dark you can get by no prob...you can also get brighter bulbs (vendor on here can make a PNP harness, liptzwrath sp?). I have been pulled over twice in Cali with no issues...as long as there is brake/turn light visibility you are good

I had mine done with 3m window tint...has held up nicely for a little under a year and the transparency is good yet they look really dark when off
